Football transfer rumours: Chris Hughton for the Coventry hot-seat?https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/mar/17/football-transfer-rumours
Today's rumours can taste the fear<p>There's a managerial flavour to today's Rumour Mill. Back in the day, this would have been a palate-teasing mixture of blended whisky, cheap cigar smoke and scotch eggs. Not sure what it is now, in these modern times. Can you taste desperation? You can taste fear. Maybe it's fear.</p><p>Big managerial story #1: Bayern Munich should have been 6-1 up at half-time against Internazionale in the Champions League the other evening, and look what happened there. Still, at least their manager, Louis van Gaal, can take solace in the fact that their ludicrous inability to put away the European champions didn't lose him his job.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/mar/17/football-transfer-rumours">Continue reading...</a>Coventry CityFootballSportChris HughtonThu, 17 Mar 2011 09:13:26 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/mar/17/football-transfer-rumoursPhotograph: Stephen Pond/Empics SportChris Hughton contains his excitement at being linked with Coventry.

Today's Mill enjoyed the bit with the water gun<p>As the Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy wakes up this morning to news that West Ham United are set to be named as the preferred bidder for the Olympic Stadium, he might be forgiven for wondering what it was all for. All that time and money wasted drawing up plans for a venue that will never be built and chasing Pele for a supportive quote. I mean, the man even spent a good month pretending that he wanted to sign David Beckham on loan fer Chrissakes!</p><p>But hang about, perhaps there is a happy end to this tale after all. No, we're not talking about the news that Tottenham and LA Galaxy <strong>have agreed a partnership </strong>that will see players flit freely back and forth between the clubs for years to come. We're talking about news that <strong>David Beckham saved a whole family from certain death</strong>. Well, OK, that's probably over-egging the pudding just a touch, but he did help push their car to a safe spot after they broke down on a roundabout, which was a very decent thing to do.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/feb/10/football-transfer-rumours-roman-pavlychenko">Continue reading...</a>Tottenham HotspurChris HughtonWest Bromwich AlbionNewcastle UnitedLiverpoolFootballSportThu, 10 Feb 2011 08:52:58 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/football/2011/feb/10/football-transfer-rumours-roman-pavlychenkoPhotograph: John Sibley/Action ImagesTottenham's Roman Pavlyuchenko, lost and trapped on the fringes of the squad at White Hart Lane.
